Gets a good review; see here. I wonder if they make a 6 cell model; the extra battery time is very useful. Best thing about it compared to my Wind is the Synaptics trackpad, which sounds pretty capable. On the other hand, I prefer black to white in a netbook. _________________ Mini 1: 2.3 ghz Core i5; 8 gb RAM, Corsair 240gb SSD, 500 gb Seagate XT

The only bad thing I've heard about them is the heat it over 100*F on the keyboard when it's on for a while, I would love to get one though since they have the 34mm Express card slot. Otherwise I'm more interested in the Wind or the Acer depending on the RAM situation in the new one. _________________ "You must control your future by taking command of your present, and fixing and learning from your past."

The Director of the IS dept. at my job recently got one and his is black. I wasn't able to play with it at all, so can't say much about it other than looks nice and I think Lenovo makes good computers.
I ended up getting an AAO but wanted a Wind or Ideapad as first choices. _________________ G4 Mac Mini | 1.25ghz | 1gb | 40gb | OS X 10.4.11 | 37" Westinghouse HDTV

I've seen one of these in person. The keyboard screams IBM/Lenovo quality, which means it feels really nice. I think there may even be a 12" model coming.

A 12" netbook would be nice, as long as it's in the 1-1.5 kg range. _________________ Mini 1: 2.3 ghz Core i5; 8 gb RAM, Corsair 240gb SSD, 500 gb Seagate XT
